That doesn't help for virNodeGetInfo because the caller passes an
uninitialized struct that could contain anything.

I don't think there's anything that can help for this old interface.
We'll never be able to change the size or contents of that structure.
In any case it doesn't matter because the solution is to return the
flags in the capabilities XML.
